The Union minister of state for home affairs, Kiren Rijiju, on Monday, has asked the Arunachal Pradesh government to provide sufficient compensation to those who died during the violence that erupted in the state over the controversy regarding permanent residence certificates for six tribal communities.

As it is confirmed that three people died in the violence, which saw widespread arson and the torching of the residence of deputy chief minister Chowna Mein, Rijiju accused the government for not communicating the situation properly to the citizens.

Talking to reporters, Rijiju said, “Arunachal Pradesh government was not able to communicate the correct thing to the general people. People started thinking that the government was going to implement the Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC). I have asked the state to ensure that those killed during the violence are provided adequate compensation.”
